There shall be no snapshot of a snapshot. (Yes, I have that
right here on my disk. Can't remove the snapshot-of-snapshot
(segfault), can't remove the snapshot (under snapshot)).
Does the snapshot point to the correct device? (Happened to
me, too. Usually after an (unrelated?) crash. No idea how
to check -- but all Devices Under Snapshot shall have at
least 1 snapshot.)
Does the persistent snapshot-map look like it could work on
that device claims to be against? (bigger than the device
in question?)
Ability to turn persistent snapshots into non-persistent ones
(cleaned up after reboot) -- so that rogue ones can be
removed during a reboot.
